You won’t have to go all the way to China to enjoy three-star French cuisine on Princess Cruises. La Mer, a casual French bistro-style restaurant inspired by Chef Emmanuel Renaut will be a feature of the new Sky Princess when it starts a season of Caribbean cruises out of Ft. Lauderdale in December, 2019.
Chef Renaut is owner and executive chef of the Flocons de Sel restaurant, located in the French Alps village of Megève. Flocons de Sel was awarded a third Michelin star in 2012, having earned its first in 2004 and a second in 2006. Before establishing the restaurant in 1998, Renaut worked in restaurants including Claridge’s, Hotel de Crillon and Auberge de l’Eridan. His menus feature French cuisine with a modern twist inspired by the flavors and feeling of the French Alps and contrasts from the ocean.
The specialty restaurant will be located in the lively Sky Princess atrium and carry a cover charge of $35 per person. The concept was first introduced onboard Majestic Princess in 2017, to rave reviews from international cruisers while the ship was based in China. La Mer will also debut onboard the line’s next new ship, Enchanted Princess, in summer 2020.
